Question 1

What do you need to print on these discs?

Accepted Answer

I use a Canon Pixma iP7220 printer, which sell for under a hundred dollars at Staples and many other big box stores. So far, I have made printed about 300 cd's with this printer, and I only had to replace the ink cartridges once...(buy generic ink replacements rather than the Canon replacements) I usually find the ink replacements on Amazon for under $20.00 for the XL size, which contain even more ink. I have used these Verbatim white cd's before, and they work flawlessly. Always make sure when you purchase printable cd's that you get the P/N # 95252...which is the smaller hole cd. If you buy any other number, the hole in the center will be larger in diameter, and the ink will smear on the plastic part of the hole. With the 95252, there is no smearing because the hole is smaller, and your printer will print to the very edge of the hole, resulting in a cleaner print out. I hope this info helps in your decision.

Question 2

What color are the disks on the recording side?

Accepted Answer

The underside is the usual greenish toned silver. The tops are of course just white.

Question 3

Can these be used for audio?

Accepted Answer

Yes

Question 4

What does 1x - 52x mean.?  I have some CD-R from another maked marked12x.

Accepted Answer

This is what I've been led to believe by the techie stuff I've read. The designation 1x - 52x tells you that the CD-R is compatible with any CD player or recorder that reads or records up to 52x speed. In other words if you have an old clunker that only records at 1x speed (I can't imagine one of those still being around) it will work with that recorder. Your 12x CD-R should work in your faster CD ROM but they will record at a slower speed than a 52x. Sometimes you may wish to record at a slower speed if you are having trouble getting a good recording at the higher speed. Your 1x - 52x CD-R allows you to do that by changing the setting of your recording software to a slower recording speed. Hope this helps. Maybe someone with more precise understanding of this can chime in too.
